So, the movie is from the 2000s (+/-) and looks like its made in the 60s. I remember it opening with a scene of a very manly man, typical stereotype for that era, looking through a telescope at night. His submissive wife can’t do any other than listening to his elaborate words and watch him smoke his pipe or something like that. She is doing the dishes or similar, he’s just busy being a man in the garden, impressing his wife with his elaborate words.

As they observe a space craft (or comet) going down the story starts to unfold and I can’t remember much more. Hope you nice people can help me find that film. Have a good one, cheers
